Although I like longer days, I also cherish the charm of the actual season: little candles, fairy lights, the seductive scent of pine green at home … Two years ago, I spent this time of the year in France, remember? Today, I am feeling grateful for celebrating at home. To me, traditions are important. How about you? Would love to know!

If you’d want to treat yourself with some glimpses of Christmas traditions and how they are honoured in different places all over the world, please have a look at Stephanie Levy’s Artist Advent Calendar. Each day of December, she features an artist and shares how (s)he spends the Christmas season.
